Totally aware of that. :o) I wouldn't buy a Mac for other reasons. My ex wife works at an Apple store and I sent her some standard video format file she couldn't open on her Mac...it's things like that.

Well, that is not an issue about restricting your freedom. It's about the differences between Unix and Windows.
